  1. The aim of the weekend is to promote and introduce personnel to the exciting sport of surfing, and to further improve the skill of personnel who have previously attended a Beginner’s Weekend.  Please state on the form your skill level as we can now offer video analysis and intermediate coaching for those who are at a progressive level.  
  2. Due to the uncertainty of the weather and surf, it may be necessary to change the venue on the day, therefore personnel are required to provide their own transport. 
  3. All equipment will be provided by the club (e.g. Boards, Wetsuits,) however participants are encouraged to bring their own wetsuits, boots and gloves if possible. 
  4. The muster point will be Gwithian Towans car park (near Hayle, just off the A30) at 0900 on the 19th June 2010. Please be advised to ensure you have enough change for the car park (approx £4.50).
